RESIDENTS OF BOTH TOWNS HAPPY 


- —~Renders-of-the- MINER ‘Are Awnre Uf tie desire” that existed among the 
residents of Slav Town for some time past to be incorporated with Coleman, 
as they were laboring under dissabilities which incorporation alone could 
remedy. 

A petition to that effect was presented to the council, which met with a 
favorable reception, but could not be acted upon until certain arrangements 
with the Alberta government were completed. Meanwhile the town council 
worked steadily on the project and at length were in a position to act, when’ 
to their surprise they were informed that other proposals were made Slav 
town through other sources which are attractive though not practical. Mayor 
Cameron and councillor McDonald interviewed some of the leading citizens 
of Slav Town and \were informed very frankly who were Slav Town’s new 
formed friends andtheir promise, also that a meeting of the citizeris was to be 
held in two days to discuss the new petition. Mr. Cameron asked the -priv- 
ilege of being present and that a representative from the other party be in- 
vited to attend also with the result that both parties received an invitation. 

The meeting was held, Mr. Cameron was there but after a protracted 
delay, no one appeared to uphold petition No, 2, The matter in all. its phases 
was fully discussed in a frank and friendly manner. All questions were an-| 
swered by Mr. Camoron in a way which could not be missunderstood; for in- | 
stance when the mater of a hotel and wholesale liquor license came up, the re- 
ply was, ‘‘Gentlemén, neither I or the council can help or hinder you. It is 
amatter for the government, the inspector and the commissioners to deal 
with.” The license law was fully explained, as was also the school law, in fact | 
nothing was overlooked which had any bearing upon the mater in question, 
with the result that a committee of two was appointed to meet the council on 
Monday last when the subjoined was signed by the respective parties. 

In the matter of incorporation ofwest Coleman annex, commonly known | 
by the naawne of Slav town, to the village of Coleman, 

We, the Council of the said village of Coleman, do agree when said in- 
corporation is legally consummated. 

lst.—To make a road or street to the afore said Slav town through the rock 
or cliff so as to connect it to our village. Work to begin in August or as 
soon thereafter as agreement is nade between the C. P. R. and the munici-

2nd.—To light said community as soon as lamps can be secured, and put 
in asupply of water so soon as new system is completed. Also to petition 
the minister of education of the province of, Alberta for power to erect, 
equip and establish a public ward school, the same to take effect on the 
approval of the said minister of education. 

It was moved by councillor Graham, seconded by councillor MacDonald,

Work for Canada. 


The present year, 1909, has witness- 
led the highest honors paid to the 
nemory of many distinguished men 
lof many nations who were born one 
}undred years ago; and amongst 
hese honored names the British and

The Canadien historian, of whom 
we have now to write a brief account, 
was born at Quebec on June 15, 1809. 
Wheu he left the Quebec Seminary, at 
which he had received his youthful 
sducation, he studied for the notarial 
profession Knowing that as Valen- 
tine says in “Two Gantlemen of Ver- 
ona,’ ‘“hume-keeping “youths have 
always homely, wits,” he made a tour, 
in 1828, through the New England 
States, and in 1831 paid a_ visit to 
England and France. While he was 
in London, preparing to return home, 
he met with M. D..V. Viger, the dele- 
zate fron. the Assembly of Lower Can- 


ada to the Imperial Government, and | 


was retained by him as his secretary. 
During his residence in London, young 
Garneau had the opportunity of mak- 
ing the acquaintance of many eminent 
men, native and toreign, in the great 
netropolis He afterwards accom 
oaniel M. Viger from London to Paris, 
where he visited the Academy of 
Sciences, and met with many of the 
‘savants”’ of that institution. 
in 183% that he returned to Canada, 


full of newly-acquired knowledge, and | 


inspiring experiences. So late as 1855, 
he thought it worth while to write 


for Le Journal de Quebec, an inter | 


esting account of his voyage to | 
Europe There can be no doubt that | 
this veyage, from various causes, but | 
principally owing to the literary so- 
tiety into which he was introduced, 
exercised a strong influence on the | 
formation of his own literary charac- | 
ter. Soon after this, he produced in 
the Quebec journals a number of 
poems about the Merits of which I 
translate the French criticism of | 
L’Abbe  Casgrain:—‘*These poems | 
breathe in many instances the feel- 
ings that animated him in regard to | 
that nation of which he was soon 
destined to write the history. Among | 
the most remarkable of these com- 
positions we may name ‘Les Oiseaux 
Blanes,’ ‘L’Hiver,’ and ‘Le Dernier | 
These poetical efforts, how- 
ever, which would have been enough 
to make the reputation of another | 
man, and would have secured him 4 | 
distinguished position among our ‘lit- 
terateurs,’ were only the first step to 
the crowing work of his life.” 

It was in 1840 that M. Garneau 
began writing the history of his na- 
tive country—a laborious undertaking | 
which will perpetuate his name in the | 
annals of Canadian literature. As a 
mere matter cf detail, we may record | 
that the first volume appeared at Que- 
bec in 1845; the second in 1846; and

Dobbin 
The family horse, who rejoiced in| 
the eminently proper equine name of 
Dobbin, had earned a rest by long | 
service, and was accordingly sent 
away to the country to spend his de-

a farmer friend of his owner. The dis- 
tance being somewhat, excessive for | 
his rheumatic legs, he was shipped to 
his new home by rail. 


Little Edna, the family four-vear- |

with unfeigned sorrow. She sat for »

right rustled, and a big monkey push- 
ed aside a branch to reconnoitre. A 
moment afterwards, a tiny bold beast 


went up to be fed. The example had 
an instantaneous effect, the bush 
swarmed with lithe, furry life, and 4 
vanguard drew cautiously out into the | 
open. Mrs. Bradley called again, | 
and the monkeys, satisfied that all 
was well, trooped out in numbers. 
They squatted amicably round the | 
tad | the child, and hoger, stole 
and snatched sections of banana. 
They reminded me irresistibly of the | 
shameless Neapolitan ‘“‘lazzaroni — 
they were such brazen, yet irresistible 
mendicants. 

One was an ancient rogue, of con- 
siderable size and inconceivable im 
pudence. He had lost a hand some- 
how, but managed to purloin more 
than his share of the fruit with none 
the less adroitness. With him came 
a giant and muscular consort, to 
whose lean belly clung a squealing 
and turbulent baby. Big monkeys, 
little ones, fat ones, skinny ones, nice 
ones, rude ones, jostled each other in | 
a crowd, and took food as of right 
from the hands of the twg humans. 


|The Jittle girl treated with them as 


with dols, and the monkeys treated | 
her with startling familiarity. One 
tapped on the head for another’s sins, 
protested almost humanly, and while 
reparation was being made the others | 
plundered desperately. 7 

I never saw anything like it in the 
least. The scene was elemental, pri- 
meval: The humans and the beasts 
treated on common ground, as Mow- 
gli treated with Bagheera and Baloo. 


It was grossly spectacular, like the 
pictures of the child leadin the lion, 
or Daniel in the den, and as little 


real for the time being. The actors 
in the scene knew one another, un- 
derstood one another, and had matter 
in hand that equally belonged to 
both. 

Finally, the bananas were at an 
end, and Mrs. Bradley rose. 

“That’s all,” she said to the con- 
gregation. “Go away.” 

“Not much,” returned the congre- 
gation, as plainly as gestures coul 
speak. Then they saw us, and fled. 

Mr. Bradley didn’t think very much 


“They hang around us” He com: 
lained; ‘‘they behave as if the place 

longed to them. If hie leave a 
window open at night, they waltz in 
and take possession.” 


Snubbing H.R.H. 


It is not often that a prince is 
snubbed, but this happened once, at 
Prince of Wales, 

During his first visit with the prin-- 
cess to Australia he was out walking 
one Sunday afternoon with his host, 
an important official. They happen- 
ed to pass a Sunday school just as 
the scholars were coming’ out, and 
naturally, the children followed the 
distinguished pedestrians. 

At last the host asked them to run 
away, and all except one little girl 
did so. This tiny tot continued to 
gaze with innocent awe at the prince. 
At last the latter took her hand, 
walked some little distance, and then 
said? ee 

“Now you have hada walk with 
me, run away and play.” : 

Immediately came . the quaintly- 
severe retort:

TELLS OF HIS BRAVE DEED. | 


|@ question, sir!” 


Interviewed by Three Representatives 
of the Press and Treated With In- 
sulting Levity—He Falls Asleep on 
the Lounge. 


{Copyright, 1909, by Associated Literary 
Press.) 

HEN Mr. Bowser came home 
to dinner the other evening 
it was evident that he was 
on the rush, and he had 

scarcely got his head inside the door 
when he called out to Mrs. Bowser: 

“If dinner fs not on the table, hurty 
it up as fast‘as you can.” 

“You can sit down at once, Have 
you got to go back to the office or 
somewhere this evening?” 

“No, but I expect half a dozen call- 
ers. Some of them may be here with- 
in ten minutes.” 

“I—I hope it isn't politics,” said Mrs. 
Bowser as they got sented at the ta- 
ble. 

“I’ve got nothing to do with politics.” 

“And the callers you expect are not 
coming to sell you an auto, a balloon 
or anything of that sort?’ 

“Certainly not.” ‘ 

“And you are not going to take box- 
‘ing lessons again and be knocked clear 
across the garret and left for dead?” 

Mr. Bowser flushed up and glared at 
dher across the table and for a moment 


“MR. BOWSER, WERE YOU EVER TAKEN IN 
ON A CONFIDENCE GAME?” 
weemed inclined to explode. Then he 
caught himself and cooled down and 

replied: ‘ 

“I suppose I must explain, though | 
hate to be talking about myself. The 
car was crowded this morning, and lL 
rode on the rear platform.” 

“And some one stepped on your 
‘feet?” 

“No, ma'am. We had got down to 
Beach street when the car stopped for 
‘a lady to get on. She: was in the-act 
‘when the car started. But for me ghe 
‘would have been dragged under the 
wheels und crushed.” ' 

“You rang two bells for the car to 
stop, did you?” 

“Of course not. 1 am not ringing 
‘bells on a blamed old street cur, I 
reached down and seized the lady and 
{lifted her on to the platform by main 
@treogth and thus saved her from cer- 
tain death.” 

“That was grand!” exclaimed Mrs, 
‘Bowser. “I am proud that you had 
such presence of mind.” 

“Il always have it. It belongs to the 
Bowser’ family—that is, to the male 
members of it. | shouldn't be rattled 
even in an earthquake.” 


“Well, the lady was grateful, of 
course?” 
Called a Hero. 
“Of course. She called me a hero 


and all that, took my address and said 
that she would see that the public 
learned all about me. In other words, 
she intended to notify half a dozen 
of the newspapers and have them send 
representatives over here this evening 
to interview me and publish my picture 
and the full particulars. of the heroic 
rescue.” 

“Why, dear, it will be another Binns 
case,” 

“The Binns case won't be in it. All 
he did was to stay on the Republic 
‘with a lot of others and work bis wire- 
less apparatus. He simply had to stay. 
If he had tried to sneak away the cap- 
tain would have had bim in irons. The 
Binns case makes me tired.” 

“You were certainly a hero,” said 
Mrs. Bowser as she glanced at him ad- 
miringly. “In reaching down to seize 
the lady you might have pluuged head- 
firet in the yawning abyss. Her weight 
might have torn your arm off, The 
hind end of the car might have lifted 
up at that critical moment and driven 
your heag through the roof. Why 
didn’t you telephone me as soon as 
you reached the office?” 

“Humph! I should think you had 
lived with me long enough to know 
that I am not one who blows his own 
horn, I even hope that no reporters 
will come. I don’t want to be called 
a hero for a simple act of duty.” 

“Will they want my picture too?” 

“Eh? What? Your picture? What 
for?” 

“Why, I am Mrs. Bowser, the wife 
of the great hero.” 

“But what in thunder does the pub- 
tie care about that? You're my wife, 
of course, but don’t you go bentiog 


and was ther taken into tne library. 


After muking ready he began: 
“Mr. Bowser, were you ever taken 
In on a confidence game?” 
“W-what do you mean?” was the re- 
y 


| “Well, for instance, did you ever bet 


| on three card monte, as it is called?” 


“I don’t understand your asking such 


“No? Then let me inquire at what 
age you began to lose your hair and 
what remedies, if any. you have tried 
for your baldness?” 

“Look here, young man,” said Mr. 
Bowser as he rose up, “if you have 
come kere to insult me you can get 
right out. What hus my hair or my 
baldness got to do with this inter- 
view 7’ 

“Why, a great deal. The lady you 
assisted on to the car this morning has 
a sure remedy for baldness, and she 
wanted me to tip you off. before you 
fell into the hands of any swindler.” 

“You go out, sir+you go out—and 
be glad that I don't throw you. out! 
The idea of such talk to me, and in 
my own house at that!” 

“Oh, well,” said the young man, “if 
that is the way you feel about it I'll 
withdraw. I hoped to make a couple 
of columns of your story. but there are 
many disappointments in this profes- 
sion. Good night to you.” 

Mrs. Bowser was in the sitting room, 
and, the door being open, she had 
heard every word. Mr. Bowser knew 
this, and he hated to face her, but 
when be finally did be found ber deeply 
interested in a book—so deeply that she 
simply glanced up and said: 

“If there is a call for your photo- 
graphs | have them right here.” 

Again Insulted by the Press. 

Then the bell rang again, and a sec- 
ond young iman was admitted. He 
anxiously asked if Mr: Bowser would 
submit to an interview, and upon being 
answered in the affirmative a great 
load seemed to be lifted from his mind. 
Whé@h pad and pencil had been fished 
from his pocket he smilingly began: 

“Mr. Bowser, did you or did yeu not 
on a certain occusion get up in the 
morning and put your day shirt on 
over your nightshirt aud wear it thus 
all day?” 

“What do you mean, sir?” was de- 
manded. 

“Why, it is claimed that all great 
heroes are absentminded, and I want- 
ed to see how it was with you. We 
mey let that pass, however, and I will 
ask you if your father had a short and 


| stocky figure the same as you have. 


The 'ady whose life you so heroically 
saved this morning noticed your fig- 


ure and asked me to be particular | 


about it. She said it seemed to her 
that you had jumped off the roof of a 
barn some day and telescoped your 
legs.” 
Escorted to the Door. 

“T will escort you to the duor, sir!” 
said Mr. Bowser in a low, tense voice. 

“But this interviéw is hardly begun.” 

“This interview is finished, sir! The 
next interview will take place when 
we meet on the street!” 

“Sorry, very sorry. I was going to 
give you the whole front page in the 


| morning, and now we must fill it with 


a condensed milk advertisement. If 
you change you mind within an hour 
please telephone us. Good night.” 


Mr. Bowser expected to see a smile | set ’e couldn’t do nothink, else I ain't |

have missed the golden opportunity. 
When the bell rang for the third time 
the interview began at the door by 
Mr. Bowser asking: 

“Well, sir, what's wanted?” 

“I am from the Daily Star,” was the 
reply of the reporter. 

“Well?” 


“If you are Mr. Bowser, the hero, I | 


want to ask you if you ever tried keep- 
ing a pig in the city?’ 

“Sir!" é 

“And if the pork cost you 48 cents 
a pound?” 

The door was opened, the reporter 
shoved out on to the steps, and Mr. 
Bowser limped back into the sitting 
room and fell on the lounge and 
stretched out his back. No one spoke. 
No one moved. The quietness of death 
prevailed for ten minutes, and then 
his breathing told that he was asleep. 
Mrs. Bowser tiptoed over and saw a 
tear on either cheek and bent down 
and kissed them away and whispered 
to herself: 

“Poor man, he would be a hero if 
he could, but he can't be. He can 
only be just Bowser.” M. QUAD.

WIND AND WAVES. 


A Gale’s Action Upon Water, Desert 
Sand and Prairie Snow. 

There are wind waves in the water, 
sand and snow, The great sea waver 
are produced at that part of a cyclene 
where the direction of the wind coin- 
| cides with the direction of advance of 
the depression. Along this line of ad- 
leance the/waves in their progress are 
accompanied by a strong wind blowing 
across their ridges as long as the at- 
mospheric depression is maintained. 
So the waves are developed until they 
become steep. The average height in 


wind fn miles, 
A wind of fifty-two miles an hour 


| twenty-six feet, although individual 
| Waves will attain a height of forty 
feet. The prevailing wind in all longi- 
| tudes is westerly, so wherever a west- 
| erly wind springs up it finds a long 
| Westerly swell, the effect of a previous 
| wind still running, and the principal 
effect of the newly born wind fs to 
|increase the steepness of the already 
|running long swell so as to form 
|majestic storm wares, which some- 
times attain a length of 1.200 feet 
| from crest to crest. The longest swells 
|due to wind are almost invisible dur- 
|ing storms, for they are masked by 
the shorter and steeper waves, but 
they emerge into view after or beyond 
the storm. 

The action of the wind to drift dry 
sand in a procession of waves is seen 
in the deserts. As the sand waves 
cannot travel by gravitation, their 
| movements are entirely controlled by 
the wind, and they are therefore much 
|simpler and more regular in form and 
morement than ocean waves. In their 
| greatest heights of several hundred 
feet the former become more complex 
owing to the partial consolidation of 
the lower layers of sand by pressure, 
but they still have the characteristic 
wave features. 

In the Winnipeg prairies of Canada 
freshly fallen snow is drifted by wind 
in a procession of regular waves, pro- 
| gressing with a visible and ghostlike 
|motion. They are similar to desert 
/sand waves, but less than half as 
| steep, the wave length being fifty 
jtimes as great as the height. The 
| flatness of the wind formed snow 
| waves affords a valuable indication of 
| the great distance to which bills shel- 
ter from the wind.—Chicago Tribune.

had left home without this halfpenny 
talisman he felt “very uncomfortable” 
untill his safe return.

|tree is easily recognized by its erect

| tran rising high and clear like the 
|masts of great ships before the first 
|bough is reached. These trees prob- 
ably tak2 three to four hundred years

|able tree was discovered by the 
|French botanist, Labilladiere, when 
in Tasmania 1n 1792, and received its 
|name from the formation of its seed

The tree has an untidy and ragged 
air, arising from the bark hanging 
down from its sides and branches in 
long strips, and when set in motion 
by the wind. keeps up a constant 
creaking, filling the forest with the 
strangest echoes and sounds. The 
bark is brown in color, the outer lay-

Now Near Decay. 
Slowly but steadily the historic 


ind southwestern part of Ireland are 
lisappearing. Time’s ravages and 
nan’s neglect have done the work of ; 
ffacement, and places dear to the 
iearts of Ireland’s sons, at home or | 
n exile, are fast crumbling into do 
ray. z 1 
In this connection may be mention- 
xd the little Roman Catholic chapei | 
 Garranboy, a quaint hamlet with- 
n a few miles of the picturesque 
own of Killaloe in the County Clare. 
[his little edifice dedicated to the 
worship of God was built in 1812, 
when its people taking advantage. of 
she relaxation of thé penal laws, mov- 
sd once more into the open and dared 
wo aspire to the right of public wor- 
ship. 

Close by, but more secluded, stood 
the old thatched Chapel of Sean Tigh 
an Alfrinn—the old house of the mass 
—where the people of the surround- | 
ing districts of Clare and Tipperary | 
were wont to assemble during all that 
long, dreary night of persecution and | 
when the ancient parochial churches | 
of the neighborhood were either ap- 
propriated or destroyed, to assist at 
the great sacrifice and hear the Word 
f God, while sentinels kept watch 
from the sutrounding hillteps. ‘Tis | 
no «6wwonder associations so sacred 
would be treasured deeply in the | 
nearts Of a faithful people. 

It would be hard to realize the de- 
plorable state of decay in which the 
present structure is. The walls are 
seriously out of plumb, the roof is 
in danger of falling in, and that, all 
|things considered, remodeling is out 
|of the question. An effort is now be- 
|ing made to remedy this sad state of 
|things—to replace this historic ruin 
by a building, plain and substantial, 
but somewhat suitable for its sacred 
purpose. In this work the Very Rev. 
Canon Flannery, the parish priest of 
| Killaloe, is much interested and has 
|issued an appeal for aid. The people 
of the locality have been and are, 
according to their means, contribut- 
ing generously to the building fund; 
|atill, without assistance from their 
friends at home and abroad and the

She probably thought that she had

awoke next day to find herself infam-

whole country was informed of this 
traitorous endeavor to encourage the

cf those at home, and there was a 
great deal said about the abuse of 


positions of influence. Then the

Ordered Off-His Qwn Grass. 

The Duke of Norfolk seems at pres- 
ent to be bent on getting rid of some 
of his great possessions. Earl Mar- 
shal and premier peer of the realm 
since he was thirteen years old, 
duke might reasonably be expected 
to have developed into something of 
an autocrat, but he is regarded with 
admiring devotion by his tenantry. 
His carelessness in of dress 
and deportment have given rise to 
many amusing incidents. On one oc- 
cesion he was ordered off his own 
grass by an member of an ex- 


| cursion party which was being shown 


thé beauties of Arundel. “Come off 
that. can’t yer?’ she shouted at. the 
shabby figure crossing one of the 
lawns. “It’s such like as you gets us 
decent folk into trouble.” The duke 
married his cousin, the Hon. Beatrice 
Maxwell, and when kneeling at the 
altar during the wedding ceremony 
displayed on the soles of his boots 
the price mark—and the silk hat he 
wore was, as his are invariably, 
brushed the wrong way. As head of 
the Howard family, the Duke of Nor- 
folk is, of course, prominent among 
Roman Catholics in England. 


The Sinner's Progress. ¥ 

In narrating a story of a naughty 
girl and an English magistrate in his 
book, “Old and Odd Memories,” Hon. 
Lionel A. Tollemache supplements it 
with that famous example of anti- 
climax, the rebuke of a head master 
to youthful Etonians for unpunctual- 
ity at chapel, “Your conduct is an 
insult to the Almighty and keeps the 
canons waiting.”’ 

The young girl mentioned was had 
up before the istrate by a farmer 
for killing one his ducks with a 
stone. The case inst ber was quite 
clear, but it was ught worth while 
to call witnesses to prove that she 
wee vey nangly inieen and in the

The business man who thinks

not advertise, makes the great- 
est mistake conceivable. It 
may pay for a short time but he 
will miserably fail in the long

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER 


Here's what Arthur Brisbane, editor 
of the New York American, the high- 
est salaried man in America, has to 
say about the local newspaper : 

‘I should like to say, and in this 
you all know, Iam certainly not in- 
fluenced by personal interests, that 
the intelligent advertiser should under 
no circumstances neglect the import- 
ance of the local paper, Every man 
who sells goods, every man who tries 


Can not the de- | 


| licity as his club. 


how important the personal equation 
is. If you wanted to sell a man a 
coat, and you could get that man’s 
intimate friend to go to him and talk 
to him about the coat your sale 
would be assured. 

“The local newspaper is the local 
intimate friend of the people you are 
trying to reach in each locality. You 
may advertise in the big monthlies 
spread all over the country, you may 
have your picture done in beautiful 
colors and half tones, you may ad- 
vertise in the metropolitan news- 
vapers and break ground in a big way 
but you cannot get all the results, 
and in my opinion you cannot get the 
best results unless you bring to your 
aid the daily association of the local 
editor with his local readers. 

**T am especially anxious to empha- 
size the point because I feel very deep- 
ly the importance of supporting local 
newspaper enterprises, and of reward- 
ing adequately the work done by the 
local editor and his staff. You cannot 
keep this country in order, you can- 
not regulate or keep down its finely 
organized rascality, unless you have 
in every little town, and if possible in 
every little village, the local editor 
who isa moral policeman, using pub- 


“Tf you kill off the local editor, by 
neglecting his advertising columns, 
you deprive his locality and the coun- 
try at large of the most important 
feature of public defence and good 
governinent. You harm the com- 
munity as would) harm the 
farmers if you went systematically to 
work starving their watch dogs to 
death. The local editors are the 
watch dogs of the local neighborhood 
and, in addition to that they are the 
real defenders of the public, they do a 
work that a handful of metropolitan 
newspapers cannot pretend to do, 

- Fortunatély they give you a good 
return, the best return for your ad- 
vertisement investment, when you ad- 
vertise with them widely, and they 
will grow in power and_ prosperity 
with the growth of intelligent adver- 
tising.”

The Newspapers 


The newspapers build your town, 
why not, build up the newspapers? 
There is no better advertisement in the 
world for a town than a good news- 
paper. A newspaper is the barometer 
of a town’s industry. Show us a good 
newspaper full of advertising and we 
will show you a town full of live, pros- 
perous merchants, 

Newspapers are town builders, town 
advertisers, fortune makers, news dis- 
seminators, sermon deliverers, pros- 
forcasters—they are a necessity, not a 
luxury. Without them we would re- 
trogress to the medimval days, Don’t 
patronize them from a charitable or 
sentimental standpoint; ‘patronize 
them because they deliver the goods— 
that is, if they are the right kind.—

WORK AND WORRY 


By T. B. Branpon 

Have you ever stood by sume great 
machine that was running and accom- 
plishing its mechanical tabor in a man- 
her most perfect? How like a thing 
of life it seems, as its wheels, shafts, 
and parts co-operate and move in per- 
fect harmony, its tasks to perform! 
Just so long as every wheel does its 
duty, every spring, or shaft, or bear- 
ing stays in place, allis well; but let 
one of the many component parts of 
the machine fail in its duties, and 
shortly, perhaps instantly, the entire 
organization is thrown out of proper 
balance, and time, effort and money is 
wasted. 


I have often watched a shaft tuprn- | 


ing rapidly in its oiled bearings. It 
does its work smoothly, noiselessly 
and efficiently. Itis when one con- 
templates the work it does—the thou- 
sands upon thousands of times the 
shaft turns round in its bearings, one 
is filed with astonishment when he 
considers how much it works and how 
little it wears. 

The secret of it lies in the fact that 
friction has been reduced almost to a 
point where it ‘* cuts noice,” asa street 
gamin would put it. Friction is the 
great trouble maker for men as well 
as machines. Just aslong as things 
are running smoothly, and .no little 
breakdowns occur to annoy and vex 
us, we are hopeful and happy. Then 
something does occur, and there are 
delays, dissappointments, and break- 
downs, and it seems to us that the 
chief captain of the trouble maker has 
butted in our business and is making 
merry at our expense,. Then it is that 
we may know that something that has 
no business to be there has gotten in- 
to the bearings of our existance, and 
through friction has caused us trouble. 

In a machine of iron and steel, the 
bearings must be oiled, or the shaft, 
when not lubricated, will but the bear- 


case, The time set for the deposit of

SLAV TOWN CASTS IN 
ITS LOT WITH COLEMAN 


(Continued from page one) | 

The agreement is certainly very fav- 
orably to our Slav Town friends as | 
they will be at once placed in as good a | 
position as Coleman now stands. We 
congratulate Mr. Cameron and all con- 
cerned on the consumation of an agree- 
ment which must be of great benefit 
to all concerned. The MINER extends a 
warm welcome to our friends of the 
western suberb on becoming a part of 
a greater Coleman and sharing in her 
prosperity. 

On Tuesday a meeting of the board 
of trade, Mr. Cameron explained the 
action of the council in detail and 
wound tp with saying, ‘ we intend to 
carry out this agreement to the letter 
and would be pleased to have any com- 
ment from this board which they may 
see fit to make.” After a full discus- 
sion the board passed the following 
resolution: 


‘We, the members of the Coleman | 
| subscriptions. 


board of trade do endorse the action 
of the city council and the contract 


made by them with the citizens 
of Slav Town, and that we 
further endorse any expenditure 


which may be made in this contract 
and that it may be carried into effect 
as speedy as possible.”

ings, and the bearings will wear away 
the shaft, and the machinery will be- 
come deranged and demoralized. 

‘In the human machine of blood and 
bones, the mind must be kept lubri- 
cated by the oil of optimism—the oil 
that quiets the troubled waters of 
worry. The muscles and organs must 
be kept oiled with the elixir of life, the 
essence of health so that eaclr part will 
do its work properly, If this oil does 
not existin the body, then the parts 
are injured and unbalanced by wear- 
ing unduly upon other parts and the 
body becomes demoralized, If the 
yaind has not the oil of optinusm, then 
it can see no light ahead, and it wears 
itself away by worry, and becomes 
deranged, 

A machine of iron and steel will be 
long lived and efficient, doing good 
and satisfactory work so long as it is 
kept well oiled, and is not allowed to 
get into the bearings. A machine of 
blood and bane will also be long lived 
and efficient, doing good and satisfac- 
tory work so long asit keeps itself 
well oiled with the essence of health 
and keeps the sands of worry from 
wearing away the bearings of the 
brain, 

Man seldom sustains injury from 
overwork so long as his phisical and 
mental organism is kept free from dis- 
ease; and nothing will derange phisi- 
cal and mental powers so quickly or so

THE FIRST CHURCH | 


FOR BLAIRMORE 


Sargent the Promoter--W. 
J. Budd Pays of Debt 


The dedication services were held in 
the new Baptist Church at Blairmore 


The services were conducted by the 
Rev..Mr. NeLaren of Calgary, and 
Rev. James Sargent, the pastor. Rev. 
Sutherland also assisted at the morn- 
ing service. 

On Monday evening a social was 
held in the church at which refresh- 
ments were served and.an excellent 
programme was provided,consisting of 
songs, speeches and musical selections. 
Those who assisted in. the programme 
were, Miss M. Howard and J. Smith, 
violin solos; G. N, C. Cooke, solo, ac- 
companied by Miss Conroid and Miss 
Lochwood, solo; while bright and spicy 
speeches were made by Rev. Mr. Mc- 
Laren of Calgary, Rev. F. J. Hunter 
of Pincher Creek and Rev. James Sar- 
gent and Rev. Sutherland of Blairmore. 
The evening passed of splendidly. The 
attendance being large and everybody 
enjoying themselves emmensely. 

It was announced on Sunday that 
the debt on the church for which no 
provision had been made was $325 and 
the hope expressed that this debt 
would be wiped out by voluntary 
The hope ot the pastor 
was realized Monday night when W. 
J.»Budd came forward and learning 
the amount still unsubscribed was 
$235, very generously handed in his 
cheque, making up the deficiency, 
gladdening the hearts of the pastor 
and the able workers. Mr. Budd has 
certainly proved himself a _ great 
friend of the church, and the generous 
action was highly appreciated. 

The new Baptist church is one of 
the best if not the finest church in the 
Pass, and Blairmore has much to be 
proud of and thankful for. Too much 
cannot be said of the energy and pro- 
the pastor, Rev. 
James Sargent in his untiring efforts 
in bringing to a successful termination 
the building of Blairmore’s first church 
and the best and finest commodious in 
the Crows Nest Pass.

it had always been reported around 
town that C. R. Taylor was a wealtby 
man. When he appeared at the general 
meeting place, Hinkham’s grocery, ail 
the men would shift their wads and 
straighten their hats out of deference 
as bo seated himself on the best crack- 
er barrel by the stove and planted his 
feet op the warmest, spot. 

But the swift, horrible accident had 
silenced the jovial Croesus, and his 
estate had been revealed to the pub- 
lic’s horrified gaze as absolutely 
worthless. 

Mrs. Taylor had been prostrated 
completely. Janet had struggled as she 
could, but after all the funeral ex- 
penses had been paid her little store 
of banknotes had dwindled away to a 
pathetic few. 


“Now, Burt.” she explained eagerly | 


to her masculine friend, lawyer and 
devoted lover, “it is a case of sheer 
necessity, you see. We will only have 
$10 a month from the farm, and that 
won't even pay mother’s doctor bills.” 

“Janet.” began the young man, his 
voice husky with the emotion he tried 
to suppress—“Janet, I’m in good busi- 
ness now, and your father had given 
me his consent, so why won't you let | 
me help you in jpis time of trouble? | 
You know I"— 

“Yes, | know, Burt,” answered the 


blown apple orchard, where the busy 
bee doth ply his trade.” “Awful, aw-

But one simply could not argue with | 
Janet. Her fadiant beauty was her 
strongest weapon, and Burt left ber in

THE MUFFS MEN WORE 


A FASHION OF OTHER DAYS. 


Their Use Wae Quite Common, Too, 
and Not Confined to Fops and Dan- 
dies—Double Muffe Were Once In 
Vogue—Extremes of Style In Sizes. 


Muffs were invented for the use of a 
man, At least so the legend goes. It 
seems a classic shade found the air of 
the world so beastly cold when he re 
ascended to earth after his death that 
his hands were almost frozen. 

Consequently it was decreed that the 
sinyer of the poor young gentleman 
should kill enough sables—evidently 
sables were appreciated even in those 
| enrly days—to make a covering for the 
frosted fingers. He did it, and that 
was the origin of the muff. 

Even if one is not prepared to ac- 
cept this account of the first muff as 
| authoritative there is one thing that is 
certain. It is only in very modern 
times that muffs have been the exclu- 
sive property of women. Up to the 
third quarter of the eighteenth cen- 
tury men were quite as addicted to 
them as women were. 
| In the wardrobe accounts of Henry. 
| prince of Wales, for 1608 the prices of 
two muffs are set down. The most ex- 
pensive cost £7, a very big sum ‘tn 
those days, and is described as being 
made of cloth of silver wrought with 
| puris, plates and Venice twists of sil- 
ver and gold. The other was a com- 
paratively plain one of black satin em- 
broidered with black silk, and its price 
was proportionately less, only 60 shil- 
lings. : 

At the time of Charles I and Charles 
II. there was a curious fashion of dou- 
ble muffs, a small one for each hand. 
something like a big loose cuff. The 
single or ordinary muffs carried by the 
English ladies of Hollar’s etchings are 
of medium size and made entirely of 
smooth fur, arranged, as a rule, wit 
the hair running round the muff. 

At the extreme end of the century, 
after the advent of William of Orange. 
men’s muffs were still small and were 
generally suspended from a_ ribbon 
round the neck, but in 1703 it seems to 
have been more usual to loop the muff 
to a coat button. There is a widely 
prevalent idea, I think, that masculine 
muff wearers invariably belonged to 
the dandy class—the fops, beaus and 
macarornies—but this was not actually 


the case. although the fashion was 
certainly scoffed at by some contempo- 
rary writers. 

Staid and elderly gentlemen carried 
muffs habitually. For instance; Dr. 
Josiah Tucker, dean of Gloucester and 
a famous political economist. was so 
attached to his huge fur muff that he 
carried it even when officiating at the 
cathedral services. Englishmen, how- 
ever, do not seem ever to have favored 
lace frilled muffs such as were affected 


the eighteenth century, but contented 
themselves with trimmings of ribbov 


by Frenchmen during the early part of

A Scot In London. 


Muffs, both ladies’ and gentlemen's, 
varied much in size at different times 
from the reign of Queen Anne onward. 
In 1710 they were very tiny, but grew 
somewhat larger during the following 
couple of: decades. In 1740, however. 
they had decreased again, and a little 
later Horace Walpole writes of send- 
ing George Montagu “a decent siall- 
ish muff that you may put in your 
pocket, and it cost but 14 shillings.” 
But by 1760 both sexes were carrying 
such capacious muffs that pet dogs 
were often concealed in their warm re- 
cesses. About this time, by the way, 
muffs made of feathers were intro- 
duced by reason, it is said, of an un- 
usual scarcity of furs ip the market. 

In 1786 ladies’ -muffs—men, except 
such eccentric fogies as Dean Tucker, 
had by this time given up wearing 
such ‘things—were decidedly diminu- 
tive. However, at the beginning of the 
nineteenth century they were again of 
monster proportions and so continued 
for about thirty years. 

Two wuffs of the year 1800 shown in 
a fashion plate of that year are of 
long, shaggy fur. and in the print one 
is colored yellow and has a bow of 
purple ribbon in the center, while the 
other is deep brown and has no trim- 
ming. Another huge muff of rongh, 
dark fur is shown in a set of fashion 
plates for 1803. 

A few years nearer our own time the 
modish muff was large, flat and se 
widely open at the ends that it could 
have afforded but scanty protection to 
the wrists. One example was made of 
ermine, a fur which was in NW favor

Buried Treasures in Morocco. 

In Morocco it is customary for a 
man to bury most of his riches in a 
place known only to bimseif. Lbis cus- 
tom is practiced by all Moors, for they 
cannot trust their own family, who 
would murder them directly if it were 
known where the money was. At the 
death of the head of a family in Mo-

Charging the Enemy 
By MARTHA M’'C.-WILLIAMS, 
O14 Gib Ezell went swinging and 
stumping upon his crutches down the 
street and up the steps of his store. It | 
was the biggest store in town, though 
not the smartest. Joe Beenam, who 
had opened up the spring before, just 
across the street, was running old Gib 
hard in groceries and hardware and 
leaving bim out of sight when it came 
to knickknacks or dry goods pure and | 
simple. | 

A man who balf knew looked after 
old Gib, then across at the sign of his 
young rival, aod muriwured half to him. | 
self, “What a pity!’ Another man | 
who knew also looked, listened to the | 
exclamation and answered it, sticking | 
out his chin as he spoke, “Better say, 
“What a shame!” 

“What's g shame, doc?” a third said, 
coming up’ behind them. Dr. Waters | 
smiled half grimly. “I'm not quite | 
sure. It seems to be the hitch in the | 
course of a true love,” he answered. | 

Lew Bayne, the man whd had spo- | 
ken first, shook his head energetically. | 
“I meant that poor old fellow’s legs,” 
he said. “I suppose, doc, it’s certain | 
he'll never walk again.” 

“Now you've got me,” the doctor | 
protested. “I'd risk my professional | 
reputation that fall he got on the sleety 
pavement did no worse barm to his 
shrunken shanks than bark them up | 
pretty generally. There were bruises, | 
of course, and on the shoulder and side 
as well. I told him he'd be out and | 
about in plenty of time for the Christ- 
mas trade, but from the first he stood 
me up and down that he’d never take | 
another steady step, and so far, I’m | 
bound to admit. he was right. There’s | 
nothing on earth the matter with his | 
legs—nothing at least that I or the oth- 
er doctors can see. Against that there 
is the fact that the minute he tries to | 
stand on them they do the joint rule | 
act—double under bim as though they 
hadn’t strength to bear up a spider. | 
The trouble must lie in the nerves. If 
that’s what you meant, I agree with 
you that it’s a pity. I thought you 
had reference to the trick he’s played 
on Joe Beenam.” 

“What is it?” asked Merton, the 
third of the group. “You know I’ve 
been away six months. Tell me all 
about it.” 

“Not much to tell,” Dr. Waters said. 
“You know Florrie Ezell”— 

“I ought to, considering she sent me 
away.” Merton broke in ruefully. | 
“You don’t mean Joye is gone on her 
like the rest of us? I thought”— 

“You've hit it.” the doctor said. “Joe | 
did stand ont mighty well against the 
prevailing infection, but a map never 
knows what’s coming to him until it) 
hits him square in the face.” 

“Lord!..lo think of Joe, the bomb- | 
proof,’ we called him!” Merton chuc- 
kled. “How did it happen? Tell me 
all about it.” 

Merton, a newly evolved drummer, 
had given what he would have called | 
“a comprehensive order.” Dr, Waters 
also chuckled as he answered, nodding | 
his head by way of emphasizing bis 
points: “Well, you see, it’s this way: | 
The hour struck for Joe when he saw 
Florrie Ezell swirling around, a blue 
tarlatan angel, in a waltz with Bob 
Acton at the Patton's party. Florrie’s | 
a pretty girl anyway you see her. | 
That night she was particularly fétch- 
ing. But that wasn't the thing. I in- 
sist Joe’s time had come. He kuew It. | 
Soon as the waltz was over he froze 
to Florrie—didn’t get a yard away) 
from her all the evening.” 

“It was a freezing time, es I remem-

all about himself and bis business, in 

and out, up and down, but the sub- 

stance of it was he wanted Fiorrie for 

his wife and would do whatever olf 

Gib said if only he could get ber. And 

then the old crocodile pretended to

for; he hoped Joe wouldn't press him 

for an answer then. nor, indeed, talk 

of an engagement until he war either

and crutches. What the end is to be 

nobody can guess.” 

“Can old Gib be shamming?” Merton | 
asked. Dr. Waters shook his bead. “T 
thought so at first.” he said. “But if | 
he is it beats anything In the books. 
There’s certainly nothing wrong with 
his legs, except that they’re a bit flab- | 
by. It’s equally as certain he can’t) 
walk on them. 1 think sometimes he 
has hypnotized himself. If it was just 
deceit and what I call cussedness, I | 
would have been able before this to 
take him off his guard.” 

“Well, I can at least go over and | 
condole with Joe,” Merton said, step- 
ping across the street, “And maybe 
sympathy will be worth an order,” he) 
called back over his shoulder as he 
struck the store steps.

Although it was late March it was) 

still nipping cold. A red fire roared in | 
the base burner inside old Gib’s store. 
Old Gib himself sat close beside it, bis 
eye ranging all the miscellaneous mer- 
chandise which crowded shelves and | 
floor. His three clerks had been on 
the jump all morning, but toward noon 
. there came a lull. He was about to 
send two of them off to dinner when | 
the door opened wide and Merton 
came through, with Joe Beenam in his 
wake and Dr. Waters and Lew Bayne 
marching solemnly behind. Joe’s face 
-was white, his eyes brilliant, his figure 
tense in every line. Indeed, he looked 
desperate, and his voice rang hard as 
he said, stopping short three feet 
away: 

“Mr. Ezell, I have come to ask you, 
here in the presence of these witnesses, 
to release me from my promise. You 
hnow well how it was given—with a 
to.al misapprehension of the truth.” 

“You mean yon want to take my 
daughter as well as my trade and leave 
me, a cripple, to starvel” old Gib 
roared. 

Joe set bis teeth. “I mean nothing 
of the sort!” be said. “Give me your 
daughter and our bome shall be yours, 
1 will serve and care for you as I 
would for my own father.” 

“You won't get the chance,” old Gib 
.neered. . 

Joe half turned to his friends and 
whispered sepuichrally: “Go awayl 
Quick!” 

“Going to murder me, hey?’ old Gib 
sniffed. 

Joe stood very straight. The others 
had slunk toward the door, with the

Then they saw him filing wide the

seemed like several pounds of gun

Water Vapor on Mars. 

The much debated question of the 
existence of water vapor in the atmos- 
phere of Mars appears to have been 
settled in the affirmative by the obser 
vations of V. M. Slipher, corroborated 
by those of Dr. F. W. Very, who esti- 
mates that Mars has in its atmosphere 
about 75 per cept more water vapor 
than exists in the air over Flagstaff, 


caps about Mars’ poles are composed 
of snow rather than of hoarfrost. The 
prevalent conditions on Mars, says 
Dr. Very, are those of a mild but des- 
ert climate, such as Professor 

Lowell has asserted exists there.

A GREAT MUSEUM, 
Tre McCord Home Contains a Wealth | 


of Canadian Relics. 


On the Ccte des Neiges road, out of 
Montreal, near where the electrics 
eave the highway for the Priests’ 
Farm. there stands a clas#ie Greek 
emple—the most interesting house, 
derhaps, in Canada. For three-score 
years and more it has been known as 
Temple Grove. Behind its Doric col- 
mnade one may come into contact 
with all the great churchmen, states | 
men, warriors, nobles, explorers, 
voyageurs and martyrs, who have 
been identified with Canada for the 
past 259 years. 

The Temple is the residence of Mr. 
David Ross McCord, a man who has 
worked and twiled for a lifetime on | 
behalf of Canada—his native land. 

Charmingly located is that pretty 
treasure house among the oaks, ‘the | 
alms, the maples, the pines and the | 
fragrant lilacs of Mount Royal. Its 
Doric colonnade recalls the 
Jays of ancient Greece—the days 
when arches had not been thought of. 
It is a veritable poem in brick and 
stone and wood, and its environment 
of tre: and flower and shrub only | 
adds te its beauty and its charm. 

That house is full of the most | 
pricelees treasures—treasures in oil 
and water color, in portraits and land- 
scapes, in battlefields and forts, in 
chateaux, and ruins; in prints and | 
etchings, in memoranda and auto- 
graph2, in letters and manuscripts; 
in books and parchments; in guns and 
arrows in armor and coats-of-arms; 
in banners and battle flags; in marble | 


wood; in relics and mementoes; in 
furniture and curios, in scientific ap- | 
parti of.a bye-gone day. These trea- | 
|sures have been: literally gathered 
from the four corners of the world. 

The history of Canada for a period 
of 250 years is there—there in visible 
| and tangible form; there as it existe | 
nowhere else in the world. ; 
| The morale of the whole collection | 
}is this: That, grand and unrivalled 
as it is, 1t is a mere shadow of the | 
| knowledge of the man who created it. | 
| Withoat a most intimate knowledge of | 
history, his own pencil and the brush 
of the chief artist he employed in| 
painting the oils would have been | 
jutterly unconscious of the strategic | 
value of the scenes they depicted. 

It is still feared in Montreal that | 
this splendid and intensely interesting | 
collection, as well as its collector and | 
j}owner, be coaxed away to another 
|grent educational centre in Canada. 
Attempts are indeed being made to) 
get it and him. Mr. McCord is chival.- | 
rous encugh to sacrifice himself and 
his family associations in the Province 
| of Quehec (dating Back to soon after 
his ancestors tanded with Wolfe in the | 
surf at Leuisbourg) in order that he | 
may have the satisfaction of seeing, | 
in a National Museum, teachers ac- | 
companied by their classes face to | 
face with scenes and names which 
are otherwise mere abstractions. 

More serious still, if death should 
carry Mr. McCord away before the 
assemblage of his work in such a mu- 
|}seum has been made by himself, no 
| other mind will ever be able to juxta-

Some Remarkable Records For Do- 
mestics In Great Britain. 

It is sheer nonsense to say that the 
modern servant is an aimless work- 
er, said Mr. William Sly, the secre- 
tary of the Domestic Servants’ Bene- 
volent Institution, of London, Eng. 
There are, of course, black sheep 
among them, as in every other occu- 
pation, but my experience has taught 
me that so long as they are well 
treated servants will seek few 
changes. 

We have on our books the names 
of several hundred servants who have 
been with’ their present employers 
for fifty years or more. A few weeks | 
ago the following advertisement was 


who evidently knew how to treat a 


Cook.—On the 19th April, at 8. 
Hamilton House, Hall Road, Han- 
nah (Jane) Cook; in her ninety-third 
for seventy-five years most 
faithful friend in the service of the 
late Mrs. John Abraham, of Clifton, 
and her daughter, Mrs. Carvalho. 

Miss Cook entered the service of 


when she was seventeen years old, 
afterwards became Mrs. Carvalho’s 
norse, and subsequently, when her 
little charge grew up and married, 
same to London with her as parlor- 
maid. and remained with her until 
she died. For many years she had 
been regarded almust as a member 
of the family rather than a servant, 
for her long and devoted service en- 
jeared her to those with whom she 
hod lived for so many years. 
Miss Cook’s record, althouch one 
the best, has been beaten by 
several others. Miss Caroline Chivp, 
who has just celebrated her 101st 
birthday, has been a domestic ser- 
vant for over eighty vears. She was 
awarded a pension by the institu- 
tion a year or two ago, but she is 
nrobablvy the oldest domestic ser- 
vant living. 

But even this long term of cervice 
is not the record. Susan O’Hagan, 
of Lisburn, near Belfast, who died 
in Janvary of this year, was 107 
veary old. and for ninety-seven years 
she was in the service of three gen-

Race Wagers In India. 
The native of India wagers his 


|strengthen the nerves 


money according to the colors worn 
by the jockeys and takes no heed of 
the merits of the horses, or he will 
back a horse ridden by his favorite 
jockey. no matter whether the animal 
is a rank outsider or not. 

His ideas of gambling, in fact, are 
distinctly, novel. Some of the more 
wealthy Indians, says Tit-Bits, form 
rings and back every horse in the 
race, thus gaining the satisfaction 
of getting a winner every time. It is 
Ft only of late years that the na- 
tive of India has e an habi- 
tual gambler on the turf, and now- 
adays the bulk of the. betting of the 
various racing centres in India is 
done by natives. Indeed, the authori- 
ties are becoming somewhat concern-

Co-operation in Canada. 

That co-operation in Canada will: 
| soon be a power and source of much | 
benefit to the masses of the people can | 

judged from the progress made by | 
| the Montreal Industrial Co-operative | 
| Society, which recently completed its 
first year on May 7. Starting out with | 
|.a very small capital and only 49° 
members, it has made such strides 
that to-day it has a first-class store | 
and delivery system and 137 members, | 
and is steadily increasing. The mem. | 
bers comprise principally old country | 
| people who have seen and experienced 
| the benefits of co-operation in the) 
mother country, where distributive | 
co-operative societies have been de | 
veloped to their greatest limits. But! 
lately the Canadian people are - | 
ning to see the benefits of it it 
, will be but a short. time when co- | 
operation will be as much appreciated | 
here as it is now in Great Britain. | 
| Hon. F. D. Monk has done much to 
promotes federal legislation in favor 
of co-operative societies throughout 
the Dominion. The member -for 
| Jacques Cartier, having made a pro) 
| found study of the subject, sees the 
| benefits the masses of the people 
would derive trom such legislation 


and that lawo will be passed similar 
to those existing in the British Isles. | 


Wine Growing in Ontario. 

Wine growing is a branch of Cana 
dian industry about which not very 
much is heard, and. it might be better | 
for its progress if the makers of wine 
from Canadian grapes were a little 
| more assertive, and put their products 
| before the public with a greater de 
gree of persistence and vigor. That, 
Canadian wines possess great merit 
was a fact which was clearly demon- 
stratea at the Franco-British Exhibi: | 
tion in London last year, when

ed about the growth of the betting 
which takes place among Indian na- 
tives, it being asserted that as many 
as thirty lacs of rupees (about $1,500, 
000) is lost and won in the course of 
a season. 

The ignorant masses have not 8 
greut deal of actual money to wager, 
but so badly bitten are many of them 
with the craze for betting at race 
meetings that they frequently wager 
what little Fg rye they possess on 
a horse, and if they lose they simply 
replace their loss by stealing a neigh- 
bor’s goods. The consequence is that 
when the racing season comes around 
the police ‘are kept very busy dealing 
with cases of ang larceny and other 
crimes involving loss of property. 


“Go It, Ye Cripples.” 

Sir Robert Hart came much into 
contact with the ill-fated Gen. Gor- 
don, in the days when the hero of 
Khartoum was attached to the Allied 
Army in China. On one occasion Sir 
Robert met Gorden-at Quinsan, and 
the soldier held a review in his honor. 
“The march-past,” says Juliet Bre- 
don, “‘was unforgettable. Though the 
soldiers were commonplace enough, 
plain and business-like, the officers, 
of whom Gordon had about thirty of 
all ages, sizes, and tastes, usually de-

his hands gleefully together, ‘Go it,

found them beneficial in bringing 
strength after disease had left them 
weak and run down. Among those 
who qwe good health to these Pills is 
Miss Iaura Hisco, New Ross, N. B., 
who says:—“Following an attack of 
measles [I was left greatly run down

Pills and procured half a dozen boxes

that of many others. Dr. Williams’

This new blood strengthens the nerves

A Safe Pill for Suffering Women.— 
The secluded life of women which per- 


|mits of little healthful exercise, is a 


fruitful cause of derangements of the 
stomach and liver and is accountable 
for the rains and lassitude that, so 
many of them experience. Parmelee’s 
Vegetable Pills will correct irregu- 
larities of the digestive organs and re- 
store health and vigor. The most deli- 
cate woman can use them with safety, 
because their action, while effective, is 
mild and soothing.

direction and headed another.”
